A Calgary couple facing rising rent searched for a three-bedroom home. What did $672,500 get them?
In 2018, Al Sow and Aissatou Thiam moved into a two-bedroom rental apartment in Calgary’s Beltline neighbourhood, paying $975 a month. A year later, their son, Kadia, was born. At the time, they shopped around for a larger rental but came up empty-handed.
“We didn’t find anything that we liked,” Ms. Thiam says. The 36-year-old recalls seeing cramped bedrooms and living spaces in comparable rentals. So the couple stayed put.
